See It -- Send It

Modifying for age level and subject, students create a podcast of their town. High school students should be able to drive, and parents of younger students could help with transportation and audio visual equipment.
Students will create a podcast of their hometown,(Aiken, South Carolina) featuring points of interest, historical sites, old buildings, churches, and museums. The community is featured on many websites as part of the Heritage Corridor of South Carolina. Students will be involved with photographing, interviewing 'native citizens,' and writing scripts for their podcasts.
The finished product could be used with:
- Students and parents new to the state and/or school
- Students in foreign language classes needing practice translating for visiting foreign exchange students (with versions in French, German and Spanish)
- Psychology students studying aging and memory
- Science classes looking at land use and the environment
- Art students examining architecture
- Language Art students focusing on writing skills
- Social Studies students who are studying history
